WORK OF PRIMINti WAR Sl AfIPS. No Lars Than jg 0.000.000 Have Thu* Far Been Issued Washington, D. C„ July W. —The i bureau of engraving aad printiog, ta ii on Junction with the bureau of In terna I revenue, has areompllshed the greatest feat In Ita history ia the printing and distributing of SbO.POO.- 000 of the new war revenue (tamps. The pressure on all persons connected with the two bureaus dutrag the last three weeks baa been tremendous. Chiefs, clerks, print-re and a**latan.i have worked night snd day. The labor Involved In printing these stamps and dUlribniing them has been immense. The bureau of engraving and printing was not able to begin work on the now stamp* until the war re venue act waa finally passed on June j 13. Some preliminary work baa been done in the way of getting up sketches I for tire stamps, but owing to The fact j that the denomination* were subject to change, little could be done In ma-'t -1 Ing the nlntex. The bureau ha* only seventeen day* in which to engrave the plates and print enough stamp* to give the bu reau of Internal revenue a first sup ply. In addltlo.l to this work the bu reau has to print a large number of the regular postage stamps, to prepare the plates for ‘he new bonds, and to supply the extra demand for cutrtncy. Including silver and gold certificates, greenbacks and banknotes. It had fur thermore, just begun the work of prin ting the Omaha exposition postage | stamps, so that, without the printing lof me war revenue stamps. It had an j abundance of wor« ou hand. In*fact, owing to the great pressure j of husln.TSs. the bureau has been com ' p "ed to do away with the system of ! guide* by whlrh visitors were unable i (o see the work of the bureau, and the i employes were require- to work over | time. When, therefore, Ch.ef Johnson , was informed that the secretary of th* j treasury had failed to secure a post i penrment of the date on which the stamp act was to take effect from ! July 1 to July 5. and would hold him i responsible for the delivery of a suf ficient number of stamps with which to beytn business on July 1. It looked almost as if an impossible task had been set for him. The stamps have been shipped by registered mail to all parts of the Un ited States. This work has been done under the direction of Superintendent Gcdsey. who has frequently stayed at the vault all night and has practically lived there since the delivery of the stamps began.
